Don't Duck and Cover...Just Cover!

No more landing pages! No more custom profile banner pics? Say What???
Actually, COVER PHOTOS are going to be just as effective if not more so! Honestly, you can let your guard down and not feel like you have to come up with the most contented,  informative picture profile banner intended to get a LIKE out of visitors to your wall.
Now you can focus your energy on choosing a pic that is artistic, inviting, heartwarming, eye-catching, story-telling or representing of who you are or what your business does!  It’s the FIRST impression to your page…the trick is…to make it a lasting one!
Don’t worry about trying to squeeze in the name of your business, your website address, your phone numbers and all that marketing madness. Facebook Timeline has solved that problem for you.  With the new interface,  the ABOUT information is conveniently located right underneath your Cover Photo.  No need to be redundant…Instead, be CLEVER!
Facebook actually has some pretty strict guidelines and rules for your new Timeline Cover Photo…and if you don’t comply…your pic could be removed.
Here’s the Rules:
The cover photo can be up to 850 pixels by 315 pixels but may NOT contain any of the following:
*Price or purchase information, such as “40 percent off” or “Download it at our website.”
*Contact information, such as web address, email, mailing address or other information intended for your Page’s About section.
*References to user interface elements, such as Like or Share, or any other Facebook site features.
* Calls to action, such as “Get it now” or “Tell your friends.”
So Get Creative People….Pull them there fans in with a Snazzy Pic! Or in the case of the attached Cover photo….a YUMMY one!
